Household Tire Recycling

Households may bring up to 8 standard car or light truck tires per person each year to any Knox County drop-off centers. Large truck tires are not accepted. Tires are accepted on and off of rims. Individuals with more than 8 tires, with larger tires, or large dumps/stockpiles of tires must follow the procedures listed below for businesses, reporting tire dumps, or requests for assistance.

Business, Organizations, or Individuals with more than 8 tires

If you are a commercial entity or an individual who needs to dispose of more than 8 tires, contact Liberty Tire Recycling at 865-963-4980 for more information on fees, hours of operation and restrictions. Dumping tires is illegal and can carry fines up to $1,000 plus court costs. Assistance may be available for large tire stockpiles (see below for details).

Waste Tire Generators (tire shops)

Commercial tire sellers and dealers may be required to register with the State of Tennessee in order comply with pre-disposal fee collection rules for new tires. Registered generators collect pre-disposal fees from customers and may be eligible for credit at the County’s tire contractor based on the amount of predisposal fees collected from customers in order to dispose of the tires they remove.
